I had the quilt started before I knew about the Tangerine Tango challenge. When I read about the challenge, I was thrilled because I could use one of my WIP’s to enter. That gave me the push and the motivation to get it done by the deadline. Having the focus to do so was just the ticket! Who knows how long it could have taken me otherwise. That, for me, is one of the best parts of participating in a challenge. I work well with a deadline.

What do you think makes this quilt modern?
Well, first off, I’d say the simple clean lines of the pattern. The bold color. The simple straightline quilting.

Tell us more about yourself as a quilter.
I am passionate about quilting, and more specifically, using my scraps. Using up every last bit of my fabric has become one of the trademarks of my work and it’s something that I find extremely satisfying. I love playing with color and fabric. I’m so thankful that I get to do something that I love to do every single day.

I’m thrilled that I teamed up with Cheryl to write our very first book, Sunday Morning Quilts: Sort, Store and Use Every Last Bit of Your Treasured Fabrics. It includes 16 Modern Quilt scrap projects. Published by Stash books and just newly released at the beginning of March.
